Could someone explain to me how to have the start chat bubble that is above the toons head when a player is chatting? I used to remeber how to do that but I just got back into the game from a long break and for the life of me....can't rem how!

I believe it's:

/bind enter "afk your message$$startchat"

Not %100 on that though...I'm sure someone will set me straight if need be.


Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

That is correct, but because of the open ended unknown message, I like remembering it the other way around. It feels "cleaner" to me because then the whole beginning of the command remains the same, and you are only editing the end of it for each toon. You can basically write the code and THEN decide what to say, or if you make a mistake, you can arrow up to your last entry and backspace from the end instead of fishing your way to the middle of the command. lol (I'm crazy)

/bind enter "startchat$$AFK You can write whatever you want here, just remember to end it with a quotation mark. lol"

What if you want to ADD color to your chat bubble & change the size of the font of your chat when its above your head?

The AFK bubble isn't the same as your chat bubble. As far as I know, you can't mess with the color.


The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
